The Space Between

What's wrong and right
Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you
The Space Between
Your heart and mine
Is the space we'll fill with time
~Dave Matthews Band

If you find me not within you, you will never find me. For I have been with you, from the beginning of me. ~Rumi

I only went out 
for a walk and 
finally concluded to stay out till sundown, 
for going out, 
I found, was really going in.

Reality

 

The roses are spent, the petals dry and brittle. 

 

Even so, I keep them. 

 

Roses may die, but feelings and dreams do not. The roses are a reminder of beauty that was, a dream still wished for.

 

The cost of not following your heart, is spending the rest of your life wishing you had.

Your visit and comments are appreciated.

You can see my art work or photographs at www.terryrowe.photography, any photographs in my bog are available for purchase.

Week 3 of a Year of Photography and Art

Week 3 and the unusually cold weather continues. The challenge, in addition to fighting a wicked cold, has been to create photographs I find appealing and engaging. I'm longing to be outside but reluctant to expose myself to the weather - so, for the most part, I'm forced to focus on what is near to me.

Day 15 I created an abstract out of the scratches on a fence my dog makes as he tries to scale the wood chasing squirrels.

Day 16 is a photograph of a WWI Army wool uniform jacket, "Ike" style. I love the thick heavy wool and the brass buttons. This jacket came from my grandfather, and I love it. But I don't wear it any more, and I've decided to let it go to someone who would wear it or use it. So in preparation for "releasing" the jacket I have been making photographic studies of it.

Day 17 I met up with two friends for a day's outing - I layered on clothes, loaded up with cold medications, cough drops and kleenex and set out. It was exciting and exhausting - a day spent with like-minded friends and my camera is priceless. This is old barn, near a house that is being restored, the lowering sun was shooting over the mountains and the light was lovely. Somewhere outside of Frederick, Maryland.

Days 18, 19, and 20 found me recovering from my exertions and hunkering down to stay warm and nurse my cold.

Day 18 is a collection of found feathers I keep on the kitchen windowsill just as the morning sun started to streak in.

Day 19 is my dog, Bear, looking out into the back yard. I caught him just as he licked his lips.

Day 20 is a composition of a rose and a book at my bedside.

Day 21 was a day long snow storm, periodically I bundled up and ventured out into the blowing wind to try and use my macro to catch a snow flake. The snow was very dry so catching individual flakes was the easy part, dealing with the cold and the wind was more of a challenge. But, for a first attempt at macro snow flakes I was satisfied. I have more work to do, but I also have some idea of what I need to work on.
